The 805 Kitchen is like a high-budget version of Golden Corral Buffet, but they only have succulent meat, vegetables cooked to perfection, and amazing pasta.

The amount of negative reviews on 805 kitchen is frankly absurd.

This is the only place on campus where food costs less than it does off campus. Everywhere else is overpriced. Metro may have a bad reputation, but in my opinion the food there is about the same quality as anywhere else on campus. For freshmen, $5.50 for all you can eat and a drink is a steal when most drinks cost upwards of $2.00 at Cal Poly. Also, this is a good way to get lots of fruits and vegetables because normally they cost extra as a side. For anyone on a diet, I suggest checking out Metro to see if it fits, because it’s probably the only place where you can get a large low-carb meal on campus.

If u want to eat cardboard and rocks for breakfast, lunch and dinner… this is the place for you! The bread is hard as a rock. The chicken is fresh out of the trashcan from 3 years ago. And man… that meatball was just splendid.

The food truly is bad. It’s as though they took under-qualified factory workers and asked them to work on a food assembly-line. That isn’t to say that they don’t try. Admirably, the kitchen attempts a variety of cuisines, but unfortunately pulls off none. It is a regular occurrence to be served green hockey pucks posing as “falafel,” or chicken smothered in a sauce that would shame ketchup being called “cacciatore.” And, their Mexican food would be a hate crime if it wasn’t so darn fun to use the tortillas as frisbees out on Dexter Lawn. I will however give them props for their attempts to include some elements of the area’s history in to their dining. It’s apparent that they got a culinary historian to recreate an old mission recipe for hard-tac and they now serve it as pancakes. It’s clear they care about sanitation too, their breakfast scrambled eggs sit in about an inch of lukewarm salt water to make sure they stay clean for the entire 4 hours they will remain untouched. The most redeeming quality, however, is the price. It is hard to recreate the feeling of being robbed for only 10.65, but 805 pulls it off masterfully. The brightest future for 805 is one where the chef’s start a cross-study program with the kitchen at the prison down the road, as I’m sure that even that concrete hell manages to serve its sausages warm. Unfortunately, the horrible pains of a penny-pinching bureaucracy, a forced-monopoly business strategy, and the administration’s complete inability to differentiate the Agriculture College’s livestock from the campuses student body means that 805 is here to stay as a monument to this Cal Poly administration’s inability to provide adequate campus dining.

This place is like a 20% success rate for food, only a select few things there are actually worth eating. Sometimes it hits the spot and is good for mass volumes of food and they do carry-out, but overall pretty lousy for ingredients and inconsistent cooking for professional chefs.

I am pretty sure the breakfast, which is sausage, eggs, and potato gave me diarrhea yesterday, I even had trouble kayaking, it took me 3 pills of bowel medicine to relieve the pain throughout the day. Besides breakfast, the food at 805 is ok, but it starts to feel repetitive and bland.

It’s an all-you-care-to-eat facility on campus that, while a good value on a dining plan, isn’t exactly cheap for those who aren’t. The food variety is passable, but don’t expect an amazing rotation.

Quality is much improved since Campus Dining was bought out… still, 8/10 at best, and usually 7. Brownies are great, though.

Of all the food options offered at Cal Poly for first years, Metro seems to have a poor reputation. Despite all of the negativity, it has gotten way better in the last few years.
